http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=5Okay, so UGH. I did get the job at Transvirtual *yaaay!*
Got lots of stuff I will be doing there. Going to be
working with some cool people such as lilo .. I think I will
enjoy this job greatly.
<p> My job got so stressful today, I walked out. Yep, walked
out. I couldn't handle it anymore. I was going to leave
tomorrow anyway. *shrugs*
<p> Apple STRUCK AGAIN *growls* So I'm going to have to take
measures that I do not want to, in order to make them stop
*sighs*
<p> Linux World is coming up soon, probably going to be
switching between the Debian booth (to hang out with some
friends if they show) and the themes.org booth. We have
something planned. Come by the booth and we'll try to make
it worth your time! Our (themes.org) aim is to have fun at
LinuxWorld.. so we would like it if you would come by and
have fun with us. Wed, 17 Jan 2001 16:08:54 GMT17 Jan 2001http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=4

<p> Okay, so I'm starting off in an unusual mood recently. I
have been job hunting for something more around linux and
hopefully a job I won't dread to wake up in the morning
to. It's bad enough I have to wake up at 4:30am as is, but
to also get up for something that just does not feel worth
the time and effort I put into it, is another delimma.
<p> So the other day, I got an e-mail from Joe Sparks, the
creator of Radiskull and Devil Doll. I had pulled a video
mixer off of shockwave.com and put it on my site so people
in linux could view it. He told me that I should remove it
and link it to his site. I pulled it and explained that he
doesn't have it on his site, replied in email telling him
that he should bug shockwave.com into letting him have it
on his site. *shrugs* there's a small rant on my page
regarding it, I wasn't in a really good mood that day
anyway. *shrugs*
<p> I am hoping to hear about an interview today. I sent my
resume off to Transvirtual, hoping to hear something good.
<p> On other note, with the total change in E17 development, I
bribed raster into letting me have a talk with him
regarding development sometime when he has the time
available, which apparently is mid Feburary. From there,
I'll be able to get a head start on where to point
e.themes.org for the future.
<p> Looks like I'll be playing around with a point to point
802.11 network with a friend of mine soon.. Mmmmmmmmmm..
I'm pretty stoked about that as well. I have too many
things I want to do and not enough time or money. Of course
this why there are priorities but still.. it's nice to
dream of having more skills in a specific area. Wed, 3 Jan 2001 17:34:40 GMT3 Jan 2001http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=3
http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=3Well, things are starting to move upward and onward.
Internal activity has been lacking due to the holiday, but
now that will be corrected. There have been some projects
up in the air recently, but it seems anything new we
develop only ends up for our new backend. So with that, I
am going to take it easy on development, but still be
creative.
<p> For those who care, it looks like I will make it to Linux
World Expo in New York City this year *cheers*. I will be
wondering around, probably will stop off over at the
themes.org booth as usual. I'm not too hard to miss.
<p> <p> Going to start pushing a few other things.. news items,
documentation. Ooh how that is needed. Thinking of how we
can do this. If we come up with coding projects in the
process, it will only be seen with our new backend (which
will happen when it happens. That's all I'm going to say in
regards to it).
<p> <p> Suggestions and comments are always welcome. E17 is
moving
along, menus are starting to kind of work. Rather happy to
see it moving. evas, a library set that E17 will use, still
impresses the hell out of me. Hardware acceleration. Who
would have thunk it ;)

http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=2w00t!
It's been a while since I have updated. Much has happened
since the last diary.. I'm single now and I had to move. I
think that's enough of that!
<p> So this is yet another plead for help. So a staff member of
mine, wants to start up this website that's for writings
(poems and such). His current job is killing his health and
I don't like seeing crap like that. Sooo what i need? I
know what I want, I just need people to help me. I don't
have time to do this completely alone.
<p> Please email me at demonishi at themes dot org if you think
you can contribute even a little bit.
<p> I just need help putting together the database (mysql)
structuring and the backend. I will take care of the rest,
for I need to go over the rest with him.
<p> Please help if you can. Sat, 18 Nov 2000 00:19:17 GMT18 Nov 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=1
http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=1Okay, so I got going with another Project Manager on
themes.org (particularly SuperPhly of x.themes.org) and we
want to get this moving ASAP.
<p> <p> So we are looking for people who wish to help us with
our
cause. We are trying to put together a project tracking
tool that'll help us track the progress of 1 or several
task and to also create some organization with it.
<p> <p> So if you have PHP+MySQL experience and you'd like to
help,
please email us (demonishi at themes.org or
superphly at themes.org). You can contact us for details
about
it also.
<p> <p> And on that matter.. I'm looking over GTK stuff to work
on
a GTK project.. I hope this works out as well ;)

http://www.advogato.org/person/Demonishi/diary.html?start=0I decided that I wanted to try this to see what I can accomplish. It is much easier to put my thoughts down here than it is on my page at the moment (finding time is a hard issue right now).
<p> I am currently working on a few things for themes.org - A project management tool because I feel we could use it. Also, I am short on staff so if you are good at PHP+MySQL heh.. I can use you ;) So if you would like to help, please contact me. Thanks
<p> Currently I have 2 dormant staff members and 1 that is difficult to get a hold of... this is making things difficult since there are large projects coming around and staff members are dropping due to the need for time to dedicate themselves to college/schooling.
<p> When I can get around to it and don't get totally lazy, I'll write up some documentation on how to do Eterm menu's.. Right now I am trying to do lots of stuff. I'm trying to learn GTK+ so I can contribute to sprite, which is an Eterm theme creation program. Right now, it's confusing me ... I see how the widgets are and all but I guess I am a little .. confused where the actual code goes. I haven't actually tried to do my own GTK+ stuff yet, but I'm sure I will soon and I'll put it up on my site.
<p> On further note, getting nVidia's drivers to work on my system was quite an experience. First, it would hardware lock my system when I tried to start X, so mandrake said "Hey, that's a problem with old bios I've heard" So I took the chance, did it. Tried IRQ setting from Edge to Level - actually made it worse. Went back to Edge. The updating bios thing was a great idea, but it didn't work that long. So someone on #nvidia said "Hey, there's a problem with some cards doing a bios repost. Turn it on!" So I went in, enabled it. Got further, but still crashes. So then my boyfriend said "Ok, AGP support is broken" disabled AGP support all together. Wouldn't you know - it works.
I actually thought the drivers had some stuff that would "depend" on AGP but apparently no.
<p> This has probably gotten a bit too long now - hehe.
